The old man shook his head with a smile. Whatever Ling Chuxi could think of, he naturally would have already thought of as well. Even if Ling Chuxi was willing to bury the hatchet, would Cold Moon Palace be willing to do the same? However, thinking again about the Flowing Clouds Sect token that Ling Chuxi had, the old man was not that worried anymore. Although judging from her cultivation and martial arts techniques, Ling Chuxi was unlikely to be an actual disciple of the Flowing Clouds Sect, for her to be able to have an inner disciple token in her possession meant that she definitely had a substantial relationship with Flowing Clouds Sect. It was fearful that this matter would only become more and more complicated.
This time, Cold Moon Palace had done a very idiotic thing.
“All right, I’m leaving first. Both of you be more careful on your own,” said the old man as he floated away.
Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen were not in a rush to get moving. After such an intense fight, their Battle Qi consumption had not been little and since Ling Yichen was wounded, he needed time to recuperate for a bit. However, leaving his injuries as such for too long would fearfully be disadvantageous for his future cultivation.
The carriage was still parked where it was stopped. Jiang Wuhen sat on frame of the carriage and held his chin in his palm in a daze. It was only when the old man appeared that he raised his head swiftly.
“Grandfather Qing, how did it go?” asked Jiang Wuhen worriedly.
“Could it be that you don’t trust me even when I personally take action?” replied the old man kindly.
“Thank you, Grandfather Qing,” said Jiang Wuhen in delight.
“You have made two friends who are not too bad,” acknowledged the old man in gratification.
“Why, of course. Could it be that Grandfather Qing doesn’t trust my judgement?” retorted Jiang Wuhen proudly.
“You brat. I give you some color and you start a dyeing a whole factory line,” said the old man as he patted Jiang Wuhen’s head with a smile. At this moment, his demeanour was not as cold and detached as it had been when he faced Ghost Shadow and his men, and he was no different from any sincere elder like this, kind and casual.
“Grandfather Qing, please don’t tell anyone about the matter of me being in Rejuvenation Valley, all right?” Jiang Wuhen pleaded sincerely.
“You are talking about Su Xiu’er?” asked the old man as he looked at Jiang Wuhen with a smirk.
“I do not wish to bring an unreasonable disaster upon the Su family,” replied Jiang Wuhen sincerely as his face turned red, but he still looked straight into the old man’s eyes as he spoke.
“Actually, the Gao family’s Miss is the one who is your best match,” the old man said with a sigh.
“I am afraid that would be the best match for the Feng family and not for me, right? I am merely a chess piece of the Feng family to gain the favor of the Gao family,” retorted Jiang Wuhen, his expression slowly turning cold.
“Forget it. You should handle you own matters by yourself. I will not tell Master about the matters of the Su family’s Resurrection Hall, that’s all,” the old man said helplessly.
“Thank you, Grandfather Qing. Since I was young, I already knew that only you treat me the best,” gushed Jiang Wuhen, getting overexcited as he started saying flattering things.
“This little fella,” remarked the old man as he lovingly clapped Jiang Wuhen on the back.
“Your two friends are really not too bad. Since you have recognized them as friends, then put in a little more thought into the friendship,” continued the old man seriously.
“Since they are already friends, what kind of thoughts are needed?” replied Jiang Wuhen with a sincere expression.
“That’s up to you. I have to go back and report to Master now, you be careful on your own,” said the old man.
“Many thanks, Grandfather Qing,” said Jiang Wuhen once again, moved.
The old man gave a faint smile, turned around, then left.
When Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen returned to the carriage, they were surprised to find that Jiang Wuhen had not actually run away and was instead sitting atop the carriage with a stupid smile plastered on his face.
“Are you guys all right?” Seeing Ling Chuxi and Ling Yichen return, Jiang Wuhen jumped off the carriage to welcome them.
“You didn’t leave?” asked Ling Chuxi, unable to understand. With her understanding of this cheat’s character, she thought he would have long since ran away as fast as he could when encountering such matters. She never thought that he would actually still be here. This came as quite a surprise to her.
“Aren’t we companions? To run away now, wouldn’t that be a little too disloyal? Take a look, do I look like a disloyal person?” asked Jiang Wuhen as he stood straight with his chest puffed out, looking as righteous, majestic and awe-inspiring as he could.
